Overview

Jumps Course

Newton Abbot Racecourse, located on the north bank of the River Teign, has hosted racing on the current site since 1866 when 91 acres of land were purchased in order to create the racecourse. Newton Abbot stages jumps racing between March and October, hosting a total of 18 race day fixtures per year. The Devon based racecourse’s most prestigious event is the Lord Mildmay Memorial Handicap Chase that takes place in August.

A tight left-handed oval circuit measuring 1m1f in circumference which is generally flat in nature. The chase track consists of seven fences per circuit with a water jump sited half a mile from the finish line while the hurdles track comprises four flights per circuit. Newton Abbot is a tight circuit suited to agile types while a short run-in means the lead does not often change hands after the final fence or hurdle, due to the very short run in.The course tends to favour handy types, with horses prominently-ridden having an advantage.
